The center offers service and convenience for POV turn in and pick up to Department of Defense personnel departing for or returning from overseas assignments.

Customers can obtain detailed information on the shipment and storage of their POV from the IAL website at:
www.pcsmypov.com

Based on entitlements, in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations, Chapter 5, Paragraph 5350,
POVs can be turned in at the closest VPC to the member's duty station, or any VPC between the old and new duty stations.
Locations and contact information for contractor operated VPCs can be found at
www.pcsmypov.com/locations.

POV Turn-In Procedures: IAL does not require an appointment to accept the turn-in of a POV at the VPC. A majority of POVs are handled on a walk-in basis.
However, IAL recommends the use of the appointment system, which can be scheduled at
www.pcsmypov.com/turnin or by calling the VPC.
Customers are required to provide a valid email address which must be accessible 24/7.
IAL's webpage provides additional information to assist in the smooth processing of a customer's POV, to include all necessary documentation for POV
turn-in and shipment. Printing, completing and bringing the "IAL Shipping Instruction Form" with you to the VPC will expedite the turn-in process.

Tracking POVs: Customers may check the status of their POV by selecting "ITV Lookup" from the IAL Homepage at
www.pcsmypov.com. Customers must enter their Shipping Instruction Number.
The Vehicle Tracking screen will provide transit information, including the required delivery date.

POV Pick-Up Procedures: To ensure the POV is available for pick-up, customers must have received a notification from the VPC
and/or contacted the VPC and received confirmation that the vehicle is available for pickup.
Procedures for picking up a POV are also found on IAL's website under the "Pick Up" tab.

POV Storage Procedures: All pertinent information for POV storage may be found at
www.pcsmypov.com/storage.
Additionally, customers are asked to review the requirements of the DTR, Part IV, Attachment K4, Storing Your POV, Section H, "Member Responsibilities".
